Looking for the steps to configure remote access to HD connected to airport Extreme via Surfboard modem

I found an article that seemed a little dated outlining steps on how to access files on my exteral hard drive that is connected to my airport extreme.  I have enabled personal file sharing, specified the ports and put in the internal IP address. To test, I am connecting to VPN on my ipad, firing up a browser and trying to navigate to the external IP address and port number specified (xxx.xx.xxx.xx:xxxx)  I keep getting a page cannot be displayed error. Any suggestions?

Test from a real WAN connection.. not a loop around via vpn. as it is hard to know where the problem is.. is it the vpn or the port forwarding.
Also it is hard to test from ipad as the only effective protocol to use is AFP on 548 and ipad is not able to do it.
Read Tesserax info on remote access.

  • How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad

    Hello,
    How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad / windows laptop.
    I donot have a Mac and I use windows laptop.

    For your iPad, you will need an app, like FileBrowser, to access the external drive.
    For your Windows laptop, you would access the drive like any other network share. The basic format is: \\<servername>\<sharename>, where, in this case, the servername is the base station name and the sharename is the name of the external drive.

  • Configuring Mac Mini Server via Airport Extreme via Netopia Modem

    Can any anyone help me with the settings to allow internet access to my Mac Mini Server by a Web browser. What way to you configure the modem and extreme.  The modem seems to want to duplicate a lot of the features of the extreme in it a has its own port forwarding  etc. I have manually set all devices with fixed ip addressas it shares the net work with a Windows SBS. I have a static IP Address and Domain name registered and hosted dns has the domain tranfered. Nat is enabled and ftp, itunes ports open.
    Internet is working on the local network which has a 3 Capsules, IMac, and 2 apple TV's all working and streaming from the server. Running Lion from last week.
    Would appreciate any help as this is is my first time to use the forum.
    Thanks again.

    First welcome to the discussions.
    To set up the client you'll first have to ask the Network Administrator for the name of the VPN server. The username and other details you will need to log on.
    You will also need to find out if the VPN uses PPTP or L2TP over IP Sec. with that information in hand open Internet connect in the Applications folder choose NEW VPN Connection then you click on either PPTP or L2TP whichever the network uses, then click continue in the confiquration pop up menu, Choose Edit confiqurations Then enter the information the Network administrator gave you.
    Bear in mind that the OSX client does not work with all VPN's.
    You may have to purchase a universal VPN client such as VPN Tracker from Equinux ($90.00).

  • Access to external drives connected to Airport Extreme via USB Hub

    I have 2 computers connected wirelessly to an Airport Extreme 802.11n base station. I have a Belkin powered USB hub connected to the USB port on the Extreme. There is a Lacie hard drive, a USB printer and a Kingston flash drive connected to the USB hub.
    The printer was connected using Bonjour and is working fine. The other devices connected to the USB hub aren't getting picked up. They did work at one point, but are no longer viewable from the computers (MAC Book and Windows XP). How can I re-configure the Extreme or my computers so that they'll work again?

    DLNA = Digital Living Network Alliance. DLNA works in a Server-Client fashion with the Server providing the means to stream audio/video files to the client. DLNA servers are also called media servers. The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), with an attached USB HDD at best, can perform as a media storage device ... not as a server. You would still need a media server (either hardware or software) to perform this role.
    For example, I use a software DLNA-compliant media server, called TwonkyServer. I run this server on one of my Mac minis. It gets its media files that are stored on a USB HDD attached to my 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). TwonkyServer then streams these video files to my Xbox 360 which performs as a media client/player.

  • I have configure remote access feature web application proxy but not configure give the error. The remote name could not be resolved.

    I have configure remote access feature web application proxy but not configure give the error. The remote name could not be resolved in server 2012 R2.
    I have configure Ad and ADFS different server and try to configure web application proxy different server. what setting are required for connect web application proxy to Ad and ADFS.

    Hi,
    In addition, please make sure that the port 443 is not blocked by the firewall.
    Web Application Proxy requires internal name resolution to resolve the names of backend servers, and AD FS servers. When publishing web applications via Web Application Proxy, every web application you publish requires an external URL. For clients to reach
    these web applications, a public DNS server must be able to resolve each external URL that you configure. Note that the external URL must resolve to the same IP address as the Web Application Proxy server, or the external IP address of a firewall or load-balancer
    placed in front of the Web Application Proxy server.
    Best regards,
    Susie

  • TS4062 I've done all of these recommended steps.  My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync.  Any other suggestions?

    I've done all of these recommended steps.  My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync.  My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3.  Any suggestions?

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

  • Im looking for some assistance in configuring our wireles...

    Im looking for some assistance in configuring our wireless router to allow remote connections into it.. and then from there access any of the 5 computers on our network. I dont have the model number with me now, but just want to know where to start....
    Goal=== to allow me to access our remote locations network and access / vnc into our 5 terminals...
    I just need to know how i can configure the router to allow outside connections and then from there connect to our other machines via VNC...
    Any suggestions on where to start with this?

    in order to access the router remotely , you need to enable remote management on the router and to access the terminals using VNC .. you need to open the ports used by VNC ..

  • Looking for Suggestions on granting all users access to an application *except a subset of users*

    This might not be the right forum for this question, but since it is related to an App-V application I figured I would try since this may have come up for some of you.  I am looking for the best way to grant all Domain Users access to an application
    except for Domain Admins.  Using the Full App-V infrastructure, I want to grant access to the App-V UI via User Targeting, but I don't want to allow Domain Admins access.  The reason for this is because when we make updates to provisioned
    server cores (stateless), we login with our Admin accounts to make modifications to the cores, and I would like to reduce the steps that need to be taken at the end to ensure that all AppV applications are removed before sealing up the core. 
    Currently, Domain Admins do not have access to any App-V applications, so this process is fairly clean.  All applications are User Targeted. 
    Packages are cached on a persistent D drive on each server, so the issue is that the registry, programdata, and packageinstallationroot become out of sync if packages are pulled down during core modifications after the core is attached to other servers (hence
    other D drives).  Because of this, Machine Targeting is not an option for this either.
     

    This would be so much easier with a "Configuration Manager" like feature where you could create a collection query to accomplish the same thing.  Are there other tools out there that will do the same thing?

  • The email message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing email settings for the server are configured properly

    i have an issue when loading a workflow. it gives me a following error "The email message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing email settings for the server are configured properly". it doesnt send me any alerts and worlflow fails at the end
    with the above error message.

    Hi,
    I agree with Bistesh. But after Outgoing e-mail settings are configured properly, if the issue still exists,
    It may result from your Anti-Virus. Please refer to the following steps:
    Open MCAfee Console and go to Access Protection window.
    Click Anti-Virus Standard Protection and edit “prevent mass mailing 
    worms from sending emails” rule.
    Now we need to know which processes are being blocked therefore we need to check the MCAfee Log located at
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\McAfee\DesktopProtection\AccessProtectionLog.txt
    you may find entries of DtExec , DtExecUI and DatabaseMail90, now these processes need to be entered in the exclusion list of selected rule .
    Reset the IIS And SharePoint Timer service to check if this works for you.

  • What is the best way to remotely access my sister in laws Mac who lives in another city to help her with her computer problems?

    as stated above
    What is the best way to remotely access my sister in laws Mac who lives in another city to help her with her computer problems?

    The best way? Get her to bring it to you, especially if she makes good cakes.
    Apples Back to my Mac isn't really suitable for this - it is designed for a single person who wants their Apple ID on the system. It would mean she would have to share hers with you & you would also have to setup her Apple ID on your Mac - it is messy & causes trouble with iCloud, iTunes etc.
    You can try Messages if she is able to begin a session with you, see the 'invite to share screen' in the menus, weirdly you need to use a service that isn't from Apple.
    Messages (Mavericks): Share your screen
    It may be better if you to setup LogMeIn or GoToMyPC. They should 'dial out' & maintain a constant connection so you can login whenever the Mac is powered up. It won't, require a human to initiate the process at the other end, just be aware that the router may cause issues depending on what is configured, you may need settings to enable automatic port forwarding - it really depend on which option you choose.

  • Emaill address in the ship to first and then look for the sold to

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where-
    The output should use Emaill address in the ship to first and look for the sold to if the record is not available in the ship to.
    Can somebody help?
    Regards,
    Pankaj Jain

    If you are taling about the email address used in the output determination process, you can do the following.
    Set up the access sequence for the output with two steps:
    1.  For the ship-to
    2. For the sold-to
    (you can use the same table - just set up the fields assignment differently on the two steps>
    On the 1st step, assign a requirement routine that checks for the email address on the partner. If it isn't there (i.e. on the ship-to), the access will be skipped - and the system will determine the output for the  sold-to,
    You will need an ABAPer to create a requirement routine (VOFM).

    Hi Terri571,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    See these steps for setting up Wi-Fi syncing between your iPhone and new computer:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
    Best,

    I cannot add a Wi-Fi guest network. Gone to Utilities>Airport Utilities and all I get is an image/browser of my Airport Extreme. Looking for the browser window which has the title Wireless but cannot find anywhere. What am I doing wrong?

    Open AirPort Utility. The first screen looks something like this:
    Click on the AirPort Extreme and another screen will appear. Click Edit, then the window with the Wireless tab will appear.
    If you do not see these screens, you will need to start over and configure your AirPort again.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
